Rodde Michel, Provencal painter born April 27, 1913 in La Grand-Combe (Gard) and died February 20, 2009 in Aiguèze (Gard). It was during the occupation that he discovered painting. In 1946, an official in the diplomatic administration, he also followed Mcavoy's courses at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. He was awarded the Othon-Friesz prize in 1952 jointly with Jean Commère. In 1956, he resigned to fill the post left vacant by Robert Humblot at the school of crafts and then in 1965, he succeeded Jean Aujame at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière.He kept an art studio in the heart of Provence, in the small village of Montségur sur LAuzon for more than 30 years, as well as in Paris. Michel Rodde was particularly known for his masterly contrasts of shadow and light. Many French museums contain his works including the Granet museum in Aix-en-Provence, the Calvet museum in Avignon, the modern art museum of the city of Paris, etc. Renowned private collections have his paintings. Jacqueline Kennedy sat for him. He is part of School of Paris artists that included Moise Kisling, Jean Jansem, Raoul Dufy, Claude Salomon, Michel Kouliche, Bernard Buffet, Bernard Lorjou, Claude Venard Jean Dufy, and others. His lithographs were published by Mourlot and he showed at Findlay Galleries, David Findlay Gallery and Carel Gallery Miami Beach. The technique and the color palette are typical of the talent of this beautiful artist.

Italian Modernist Surrealist Woman Color Oil Painting Lazzaro Donati La Signora
By Lazzaro Donati
Located in Surfside, FL
Lazzaro Donati (Italian, 1926-1977)
Oil on board. Colorful woman. La Signora, Vestita Di Giallo, 1969
Hand signed upper right. signed, titled on back of panel.
Dimensions: (Frame) H 38" x W 30", (Panel) H 28" x W 20"
Lazzaro Donati was born in Florence and attended the Academy of Fine Arts. He began to paint in 1953, and in 1955 held his first exhibition at the Indiano Gallery in Florence. Within three years eleven exhibitions followed in Italy, and as his reputation grew he was invited to give major exhibitions in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo. He is considered one of the foremost contemporary Italian painters and his paintings hang in museums and private collections throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. His work is recalling the works of the french Raoul Dufy, Dunoyer de Segonzac, Francois Gall and Jean Jansem. This particular work is reminiscent of the work of Manolo Valdes. Donati lived and worked at 24 Piazza Donatello in Florence, the square where generations of artists have created works worthy of the great Florentine tradition. As you entered the narrow hallway to his studio, a gilded life-size Venetian angel beckoned you to his door. Once inside, the present faded away and you found yourself in an atelier where early masters might have worked during the Renaissance. Within, luxurious Persian rugs set off the innumerable objects d’art and antique furnishings...

Lazzaro Donati was born in Florence and attended the Academy of Fine Arts. He began to paint in 1953, and in 1955 held his first exhibition at the Indiano Gallery in Florence.

Donati lived and worked at 24 Piazza Donatello in Florence, the square where generations of artists have created works worthy of the great Florentine tradition. As you entered the narrow hallway to his studio, a gilded life-size Venetian angel beckoned you to his door. Once inside, the present faded away and you found yourself in an atelier where early masters might have worked during the Renaissance. Within, luxurious Persian rugs set off the innumerable objects d’art and antique furnishings. Light poured in through the sloping glass wall on the north side. A dramatic stairway led to an overhanging balcony which served as a private gallery where the artist hung some of his favorite early works. To the left of the entrance was a smaller studio where Donati sculpted, with a window overlooking the famous old English cemetery where tourists laid flowers on the grave of Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
In the main studio itself, where Donati received his clients in an atmosphere as polished as an office of a top executive, one hardly realized that it was here that the artist actually painted. His easel was covered with Persian blue velvet, the painting on the easel was already framed, his chair was upholstered in red velvet and on his palette the colors were arranged with the precision of a Byzantine mosaic. In a corner stand were his latest works, framed and ready to be sent off to his next exhibition in Europe or America. He spoke fluent French and English as well as some Spanish and German. “After all”, he said, “you've got to know how to sell...
